I wanted to like this book way more than I actually did. It was an easy, enjoyable read, but I was frustrated with the lack of character development. The Mama in the story was not fleshed out at all but yet was supposed to be one of the central figures in the sister's lives. Everything that happened to one of the sisters was reacted to like "oh well, I'll move on" and you never really felt the emotions of heartbreak or unfulfilled dreams. Even when the sister's started to rectify the wrongs they made in their lives, I did not feel any real joy for them or proud that they could overcome their challengers. I don't know, I'm surprised the average rating is 4 stars - I gave it a 3.
